- Dental ExaminationTreatment of your child's teeth can range from simple examinations and cleaning, oral hygene instruction and dietary advice, to fillings and extractions where necessary. We make sure that your child is relaxed and happy during each visit, so you can feel confident that your child’s needs will be met and they will have a positive experience.
- Oral Cancer ScreeningYour first visit at our office is very important in establishing your oral health baseline. We will perform a complete oral examination which includes an oral cancer screening, periodontal evaluation, an analysis of your occlusion (bite) and a thorough examination of your teeth, their supporting structures and of the oral anatomy.
- Teeth CleaningPeriodontal treatment methods depend upon the type and severity of the disease. Periodontal disease progresses as the sulcus (pocket or space) between the tooth and gums gets filled with bacteria, plaque, and tartar causing irritation to the surrounding tissues. When these irritants remain in the pocket, they cause infection and damage to the gums and eventually, the bone that supports the teeth. If the disease is caught in the early stages (known as Gingivitis) and no permanent damage has been done, one to two regular cleanings may be recommended. You will also be given instructions on improving your daily oral hygiene habits and having regular dental cleanings. However, if the disease has progressed to a more advanced stage, where the infection has caused bone loss and diseased pockets have formed, your treatment options may include scaling and root planing, bone surgery or gum therapy.
- Fillings
- VeneersOur office utilizes the latest ceramic, porcelain and composite materials to restore teeth that are decayed. These state-of-the-art materials are strong and durable and can withstand the extreme forces associated with chewing and grinding. In addition to their durability, however, these tooth-colored filling materials restore the original look of your teeth and enhance the patient’s smile.
- CrownsLife is busy enough without having to make multiple trips to the dentist over several days. Introducing precise caps and crowns that get seated in your mouth within hours instead of days. Using a scanner, we digitally design and then manufacture your restoration in-office. Your restoration will look and feel completely natural.
- Bridges
- Root Canal TreatmentWe are now very excited to announce the availability of same day crown appointments. The terms dental crowns and caps are synonymous. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth’s function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth. Crowns are also used to attach bridges, cover implants, or to prevent a cracked tooth from becoming worse. Crowns also serve an aesthetic use, and are applied when a discolored or stained tooth needs to be restored to its natural appearance. Crowns are fabricated in a laboratory and are made either of porcelain baked onto a metal substrate, all-porcelain, or many of the new ceramic materials that have been developed.
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesA bridge may be used to replace missing teeth, help maintain the shape of your face, and alleviate stress on your bite. A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. Your bridge can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support. There are two basic types of bridges. A fixed bridge which remains in your mouth at all times and is supported by your natural teeth. Removable bridges (partials and full dentures) are removed from the mouth several times a day for cleaning and rest on the gum where the missing teeth are being replaced.
